"Shintaro, slow down!" Ayano screamed as the sled being pulled by two snow made reindeers being controlled by Shintaro ran through the woods.
"No time." Shintaro said, focusing on the way. "He might catch up to us."
"Who will?" Kano asked.
"Kuroha."
"Faster!" Ene screamed and pushed Shintaro.
"Hey!" Shintaro screamed. "Stop moving you little jinx!"
"Jinx!" Ene said in shock and she started yelling at Shintaro.
The two started arguing and the sled swayed from side to side. The three who were seated behind them were holding on to the rears of the sled. Ayano was shaking, Kano felt like laughing even at this sort of situation because of Ene and Shintaro, and Konoha had no face expression.
"Shintaro!" Ayano yelled. "Cliff!"
Shintaro and Ene stopped to see what was lying ahead of them. Ayano was right. It was a cliff. He knew stopping the reindeers would be too late and they would still fall down the cliff.
"Guys, hold on to either me or Konoha." Shintaro said.
Ene and Kano ran over to Konoha while Ayano went to Shintaro.
"Everyone hold on." Shintaro yelled.
As the sled reached the tip, Shintaro and Konoha jumped, Shintaro with Ayano and Konoha with Ene and Kano. The seld fell down along with the snow made reindeers. The five made it to the other side safe and sound.
Kano smiled. "That was cool!"
"That's weird." Ene spoke up. "I haven't seen Prince Kano this happy since the first time I met him."
"Well, if you haven't," Ayano said. "Then this here before you is the real Shuuya Kano."
Everyone smiled at each other.
"By the way," Kano said. "We still don't know where Tsubomi is.."
Shintaro pointed straight. "The north mountain is not far from here. We'll get there by high morning."
"Then let's go!" Ayano said walking ahead of them. "The sooner the better."
Everyone started following Ayano. Shintaro looked behind them to see if the dark figure had followed. Ayano's right. The sooner we move, the better distance we are from him.
